The goal of every school is to effectively educate students in their learning environment. Although much is done to develop a school plan, hire personnel, and select curriculum, few administrators consider their students' cognitive skill ability in the equation of educational success.
Eighty percent of learning difficulties can be traced back to poor cognitive skills. In years past, the expense of cognitive testing was only available to schools with a high economic base. Now, because of ACSI's collaboration with Dr. Ken Gibson, founder of Learning Rx and BrainSkills, and Mr. Gary Smith, CEO of BrainSkills, there is a tool available to assess, address, and strengthen weak cognitive skills at an affordable fee.
To determine if this tool is right for your school, you can now personally experience the Gibson Cognitive Skills Test (GCSTest). Information gained from this assessment will reveal weak cognitive skills, clarify "why" a student is struggling, and equip teachers with the knowledge needed to enhance the learning capacity of every student in their classroom. Visit BrainSkills and download the cognitive exercise training demo.
